- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustee directors consider that ASU London has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. There remains some uncertainty over student recruitment. To mitigate any adverse financial effect, the members have agreed to provide funding to 31 December 2026 to underpin ASU London's ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period"). For this reason, we are adopting the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

- “On 18 November 2025, the company changed its name to ASU London Centre for Advanced Learning.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
